A  Selected  Bibliography  of  Missionary 

Literature 

The  following  list  aims  to  present  a  moderate  working  library  under  each  section. 
Consequently  a  number  of  titles  have  been  duplicated.  A  few  books  are  included, 
especially  among  those  dealing  with  mission  countries,  which,  though  not  distinctly 
missionary,  are  of  special  value  as  describing  the  setting  and  conditions  of  the  mis- 
sionary problem.  Pamphlets  and  magazine  articles  are  of  necessity  omitted,  although 
some  of  the  most  valuable  missionary  material  appears  in  these  forms. 

For  the  convenience  of  individuals  and  classes  studying  home  missions  a  list  of 
books  dealing  with  various  North  American  problems  is  included,  and  for  prospective 
foreign  missionaries  a  special  list  of  books  on  education,  prepared  by  Dr.  T.  H.  P. 
Sailer.  To  meet  a  frequent  demand  the  titles  of  a  few  foreign  missionary  books  which 
should  be  in  a  pastor's  library  are  given  in  a  separate  group.  For  an  ampler  biblio- 
graphy of  foreign  missions  the  student  is  referred  to  Volume  VI  of  the  Report  of  the 
World  Missionary  Conference. 

The  Student  Volunteer  Movement  will  gladly  take  counsel  with  any  who  desire 
to  add  to  their  missionary  libraries  from  time  to  time.  Any  of  the  books  named  in  this 
bibliography  may  be  ordered  through  the  Movement.  Remittance  should  accompany  order.

A  LIST  OF  BOOKS  ON   EDUCATION  FOR  MISSIONARY 

CANDIDATES 


This  list  has  been  prepared  by  Dr.  T.  H.  P. 
Sailer.  A  very  few  books  to  serve  as  the  be- 
ginning of  a  personal  library  are  marked  **; 
other  books  that  may  be  of  special  interest  are

ATION  OF  NATIONAL  LIFE 
**  EDUCATION    IN    RELATION    TO   THE    CHRIS- 

TIANIZATION  OF  NATIONAL  LlFE.    Report  of 

Commission  III  of  the  Edinburgh  World 
Conference,  pp.  471.  1910.  Revell.  75 
cents. 

The  most  thorough  discussion  in  print  of  the  prob- 
lems of  educational  missions.  Testimony  is  given  from 
numerous  correspondents  all  over  the  world  as  to  the 
aims  and  problems  of  educational  work.  The  relation 
of  Christian  truth  to  indigenous  thought  and  feeling, 
industrial  training  and  the  training  of  teachers  occupy 
three  chapters.  The  need  of  a  broad  and  thorough 
understanding  of  educational  principles  by  prospective 
missionaries  is  strongly  urged.  The  whole  discussion 
is  on  a  high  plane  and  is  exceedingly  stimulating. 

KINDERGARTEN 

*BLOW,  SUSAN  E.  Educational  Influences  in 
the  Kindergarten,  pp.  386.  1908.  Ap- 
pleton.  $1.50. 

An  interesting  discussion  of  four  tendencies  in  re- 
cent kindergarten  work,  the  correlation  tendency  of 
the  Herbartians,  the  free-play  tendency  of  Stanley 
Hall's  school,  the  industrial  tendency  of  John  Dewey, 
and  the  stricter  Froebelian  interpretation.  The  first 
three  are  criticized  from  the  standpoint  of  the  fourth.

251.  1894.  Appleton.  $1.50. 

Miss  Blow  is  an  enthusiastic  interpreter  of  the 
philosophy  of  Froebel.  She  here  presents  the  main 
principles  on  which  his  kindergarten  work  is  based. 
The  style  is  philosophical,  but  animated. 

HARRISON,  ELIZABETH.  A  Study  of  Child  Na- 
ture, pp.  207.  1890.  Chicago  Kinder- 
garten College.  $i.oo.

HUGHES,  J.  L.  Froebel's  Educational  Laws

ton.  $1.50. 

An  enthusiastic  presentation  of  Froebel's  ideals, 
which  are  so  needed  in  the  training  of  the  Orient. 


Froebel  has  suffered  much  from  only  partial  under- 
standing and  application  of  his  principles.  The  funda- 
mental ideas  of  unity  and  self-activity  are  reiterated 
and  contrasted  with  the  ideas  of  other  systems.  Con- 
crete methods  are  not  described. 

SONGS  AND  Music  OF  FROEBEL'S  MOTHER  PLAY. 
pp.  316.  1895.  Appleton.  $1.50. 

Miss  Blow  has  translated  into  clear  English  the 
commentary  on  Froebel's  Mother  Play  and  added  free 
poetic  renderings  of  the  mottoes.  The  second  volume 
contains  the  songs  in  free  translations  with  new  and 
appropriate  music.  Froebel's  original  illustrations  are 
retained.

tice, pp.  202;  313;  205.  1896.  Hough- 
ton,  Mifflin.  $1.00  each. 

In  the  first  two  volumes  a  chapter  is  devoted  to  each 
of  Froebel's  gifts  and  occupations,  with  comments  on 
the  principles  involved.  The  third  volume  discusses 
general  kindergarten  principles.  The  style  is  simple 
and  there  are  many  practical  suggestions  derived  from 
experience,  but  no  detailed  programme  worked  out, 

ELEMENTARY  SCHOOL 

*DEWEY>  JOHN.  The  Child  and  the  Curricu- 
lum, pp.  40.  1902.  University  of  Chicago 
Press.  25  cents. 

An  essay  on  the  theory  of  the  relation  of  the  subject 
matter  of  study  to  the  developing  child.  It  presents 
more  acute  and  original  thinking  than  the  average 
educational  treatise  of  ten  times  its  length.  The  neces- 
sity of  presenting  the  subject  matter  in  terms  of  the 
child's  own  understanding  and  impulses  is  clearly 
shown. 

**DEWEY,  JOHN.  The  School  and  Society,  pp. 
129.  1900.  University  of  Chicago  Press. 
$1.00. 

A  series  of  lectures  by  the  leading  American  philoso- 
pher of  education,  describing  the  principles  on  which 
the  University  Elementary  School  is  conducted.  The 
thesis  maintained  is  that  the  school  should  be  more 
closely  connected  with  the  needs  of  society.  The 
lectures  contain  some  far-reaching  truths  and  have 
had  an  influence  on  educational  thought  out  of  all  pro- 
portion to  their  bulk. 

*DEWEY,  JOHN.  The  School  and  the  Child, 
pp.  127.  1006.  Blackie  &  Son,  London, 
is. 

A  reprint  of  the  preceding  essay,  together  with  eight 
articles  written  originally  by  Dr.  Dewey  for  the  Ele- 
mentary School  Record,  and  now  out  of  print.  The 
latter  articles  treat  fundamental  principles  in  the  work 
of  the  elementary  school,  such  as  the  psychology  of 
occupations,  the  aim  of  history  in  the  elementary 
school,  etc.

tries in  Elementary  Education,  pp.  270. 
1905.  University  of  Chicago  Press.  $1.00. 

Based  on  the  ideas  presented  by  Dr.  Dewey  in  1  he 
School  and  Society.  Discusses  the  significance  of  each 
of  the  industrial  epochs  for  education  and  indicates  ap- 
plications to  the  development  of  the  child.  The  theo- 
retical discussion  is  very  thoughtful  and  will  be  more 
valuable  to  most  teachers  than  the  suggested  lessons 
based  on  New  England  history. 

McMuRRY,  C.  A.  Course  of  Study  in  the 
Eight  Grades.  2  vols.  pp.  236;  226.  1906. 
Macmillan.  75  cents  each. 

A  list  of  topics  to  be  taken  up  in  the  various  studies 
of  the  elementary  school  is  presented,  together  with 
text-books  and  reference  books  for  the  teacher.  Meth- 
ods are  suggested,  but  the  principal  emphasis  is  upon 
subject  matter.  The  needs  of  the  American  school  are, 
of  course,  in  mind. 

*McMuRRY,  C.  A.  The  Elements  of  General 
Method,  pp.  331.  1903.  Macmillan.  (Re- 
vised edition.)  90  cents. 

A  plain  and  practical  treatment  of  the  principles 
underlying  elementary  education,  such  as  the  moral 
aim,  discrimination  of  the  relative  value  of  studies, 
interest,  correlation,  etc.  The  standpoint  is  that  of 
the  Herbartian  school.  The  author  is  not  strikingly 
original,  but  straightforward  and  sane. 

*McMuRRY,  C.  A.,  and  F.  M.  The  Method 
of  the  Recitation,  pp.  339.  1903.  Mac- 
millan. (Revised  edition.)  90  cents. 

Based  on  the  preceding,  it  works  out  the  application 
of  the  five  formal  Herbartian  steps  to  elementary 
teaching.  Perhaps  the  best  general  introduction  to  the 
principles  of  teaching  for  the  beginner  to  read. 

**McMuRRY,  F.  M.  How  to  Study  and  Teach- 
ing How  to  Study.  pp.  324.  1909. 
Houghton,  Mifflin.  $1.25. 

A  book  that  every  teacher  should  own  and  digest. 
Teaching  in  most  of  our  schools  would  be  revolution- 
ized and  manifolded  in  value  if  the  recommendations  of 
this  book  were  carried  out.  Few  things  are  more  im- 
portant than  learning  how  to  study,  and  few  things 
are  more  neglected  by  the  average  teacher. 

**  THE  ELEMENTARY  SCHOOL  CURRICULUM,  pp. 
526.  1908.  Teachers'  College.  $2.00. 

A  bound  reprint  of  five  numbers  of  the  Teachers' 
College  Record,  treating  the  work  of  the  seven  grades 
of  the  Horace  Mann  Elementary  School,  one  of  the 
best  elementary  schools  in  the  United  States.  The  book 
should  be  of  great  value  to  any  elementary  teacher  who 
wishes  specific  suggestions  on  the  curriculum  and  the 
ideals  and  general  methods  of  teaching  the  subjects. 

WINTERBURN,  ROSA  V.  Methods  in  Teaching. 
PP-  355-  1909-  Macmillan.  $1.25. 

Suggestions  of  detailed  methods  for  teaching  English, 
arithmetic,  nature  study,  history,  etc.,  in  the  elemen- 
tary grades  are  offered.  Many  of  the  sections  are 
written  by  the  teachers  of  these  subjects  in  the  va- 
rious grades.  Similar  in  idea  to  the  preceding  book, 
but  briefer  and  with  much  less  space  given  to  manual 
training  and  art. 


TEACHING  OF  SPECIAL  SUBJECTS 

BAHLSEN,  L.    The  Teaching  of  Modern  Lan- 
guages,    pp.  97.     1905.    Ginn.     50  cents. 

Based  on  the  reform  methods  introduced  in  Ger- 
many by  Victor.  The  suggestions  are  useful  for  those 
teaching  any  language.

SMITH  &  HALL.  The  Teaching  of  Chemistry 
and  Physics,  pp.  377.  1904.  American 
Teachers'  Series.  Longmans.  $1.50  each. 

These  four  books  are  designed  primarily  to  meet  the 
needs  of  the  secondary  school  teacher.  Both  subject 
matter  and  methods  of  presentation  are  treated,  but 
the  former  naturally  occupies  more  space  than  in 
books  on  elementary  school  work.  The  first  on  the 
list  has  a  chapter  on  work  in  the  grades.  There  are 
good  bibliographies  on  reference  and  text-books,  prin- 
ciples and  methods  of  teaching.  The  series  includes 
also  books  on  the  teaching  of  mathematics  and  of 
classics.  The  publishers  expect  to  bring  the  biblio- 
graphies up  to  date  as  new  editions  are  issued. 

HODGE,  C.  F.  Nature  Study  and  Life.  pp. 
514.  1902.  Ginn.  $1.50. 

The  author  argues  for  nature  study  from  the  stand- 
point of  the  natural  interests  and  uses  of  the  child  as 
opposed  to  those  of  the  scientist.  He  shows  how  to 
help  the  American  child  to  appreciate  his  physical  sur- 
roundings. 

HOLTZ,  F.  L.  Nature  Study,  pp.  546.  1908. 
Scribner.  $1.50. 

Presents  first  the  motives  and  principles  underlying 
nature  study,  then  gives  a  chapter  on  eac'h  of  the  fields 
to  be  entered  by  the  elementary  school,  and  finally  a 
list  of  topics  for  study  in  the  eight  grades.  It  has  the 
inevitable  disadvantage  of  being  based  on  American 
conditions,  but  from  that  standpoint  represents  the 
most  recent  thought  on  the  subject. 

*HUEY,  E.  B.  The  Psychology  and  Pedagogy 
of  Reading,  pp.  469.  1908.  Macmillan. 
$1.40. 

The  first  part,  on  the  psychology  of  reading,  is 
somewhat  technical.  The  second  part  is  historical. 
The  remainder  of  the  book,  on  the  pedagogy  and  hy- 
giene of  reading,  is  extremely  suggestive,  and  should 
be  read  by  all  those  who  have  to  teach  children.  The 
author  believes  that  reading  is  usually  taught  too  early 
and  by  unwise  methods.  His  recommendations  are 
based  on  careful  scientific  study. 

McMuRRY,  C.  A.  Special  Method  in  Reading

1905.  70  cents. 

SPECIAL  METHOD  IN  ELEMENTARY  SCIENCE,  pp. 
275-  1905-  75  cents. 

Like  the  other  books  by  McMurry,  these  are  plain 
and  practical,  without  being  highly  original  in  either 
style  or  treatment.  They  are  especially  adapted  to 
American  surroundings. 

SMITH,  D.  E.  The  Teaching  of  Elementary 
Mathematics,  pp.  312.  1900.  Macmillan. 
$1.00. 

Covers  the  teaching  of  arithmetic,  algebra  and 
geometry,  giving  in  eack  «ese  a  sketch  of  the  growth 
of  the  subject,  the  reasons  f9r  teaching  it,  and  methods 
to  be  followed.  Less  detailed  for  elementary  arith- 
metic than  McMurry,  but  written  with  a  wider  outlook. 


GENERAL  THEORY  OF  EDUCATION 

BAGLEY,  W.  C.  The  Educative  Process,  pp. 
358.  1905.  Macmillan.  $1.25. 

Discusses  the  biological,  logical  and  psychological 
bases  of  education.  An  excellent  introduction  for 
one  who  wishes  to  see  education  in  the  large  as  the 
acquisition  of  individual  experience.  It  should  be 
supplemented  by  a  book  which  treats  the  social  phases 
of  education. 

*BUBBERLY,  E.  P.  Changing  Conceptions  of 
Education.  pp.  70.  1909.  Houghton, 
Mifflin.  35  cents. 

The  author  shows  how,  in  response  to  the  needs  of 
life,  the  conception  of  education  has  changed  from  that 
of  a  transmission  of  the  accumulated  traditions  of 
society,  through  one  of  psychological  adaptation  to  the 
needs  of  the  individual,  to  the  sociological  one  of  an 
instrument  of  democracy  to  meet  the  needs  of  de- 
mocracy. The  discussion  is  clear  and  vigorous. 

CARLETON,  F.  T.  Education  and  Industrial 
Evolution,  pp.  320.  1908.  Macmillan. 
$1.25. 

A  plea  for  the  adaptation  of  the  school  to  the  pres- 
ent needs  of  the  bulk  of  society.  The  school  has  been 
adjusted  mainly  to  the  needs  of  the  few  who  look  for- 
ward to  professional  life  rather  than  to  those  of  the 
many  who  must  be  industrial  wage-earners.  The  dis- 
cussion is  vigorous  and  stimulating. 

DAVENPORT,  E.     Education  for  Efficiency,    pp. 
184.     1909.     Heath.    $1.00. 

A  series  of  spirited  addresses.  The  writer  holds 
that  one-fourth  of  the  time  of  all  education  should  be 
devoted  to  vocational  work,  that  industrial  education 
must  be  developed  for  the  ninety-five  per  cent  of  our 
population  who  do  not  enter  professional  life,  and  that 
this  must  be  conducted  in  such  a  way  as  to  retain  its 
graduates  in  the  industries. 

*DEWEY,  JOHN.  Ethical  Principles  Underly- 
ing Education,  pp.  34.  1903.  University 
of  Chicago  Press.  25  cents. 

Holds  that  the  aim  of  the  school  is  to  develop  a 
broad  social  morality,  and  that  the  value  of  studies  is 
measured  by  their  contributions  to  social  insight, 
social  responsiveness  and  social  initiative. 

*DEWEY,  JOHN.  The  Educational  Situation, 
pp.  104.  1902.  University  of  Chicago 
Press.  50  cents. 

Three  chapters  on  the  work  of  the  elementary  school, 
the  secondary  school  and  the  college.  The  thesis  is 
that  educational  theory  in  response  to  social  needs 
has  advanced  further  than  practice.  The  present  dis- 
location is  shown  and  the  principles  by  which  adjust- 
ment is  to  be  secured  are  indicated.  No  educators 
more  than  missionaries  need  to  study  the  problems  of 
educational  adjustment  to  social  conditions. 

ELIOT,  C.  W.  Education  for  Efficiency,  pp. 
58.  1909.  Houghton,  Mifflin.  35  cents. 

Two  addresses  in  President  Eliot's  trenchant  style 
in  which  he  contends  for  the  development  of  initiative, 
enthusiasm  and  practical  efficiency,  which  are  too  often 
not  even  sought  in  traditional  education.  We  are  still 
far  from  realizing  fully  the  ideals  which  Dr.  Eliot  has 
advocated  for  so  many  years. 

ELIOT,  C.  W.     Educational  Reform,     pp.  418. 

1898.  Century  Company.  $2.00. 
Addresses  delivered  at  various  times  by  the  man  who 
has  perhaps  done  more  than  any  other  to  destroy  anti- 
quated ideals  in  American  education.  President  Eliot's 
style  is  most  incisive,  and  when  we  agree  with  him  it  is 
safe  to  say  that  we  have  our  arguments  in  the  most 
vigorous  form  in  which  they  could  be  put.  Many  of 
these  problems  of  American  education  will  repeat  them- 
selves on  the  foreign  field. 


HARRIS,  W.  T.  Psychologic  Foundations  of 
Education.  pp.  400.  1898.  Appleton. 

$1.50. 

A  philosophical  discussion  containing  some  very 
acute  and  suggestive  things.  The  functions  of  the 
mind  and  the  necessary  implications  of  thought  are 
presented  from  the  standpoint  of  a  Christian  meta- 
physics. The  third  part  treats  the  relation  of  institu- 
tions, art,  etc.,  to  education.  The  book  is  not  all 
easy  reading,  but  to  some  types  of  mind  it  will  be  most 
fascinating. 

HUGHES,  R.  E.  The  Making  of  Citizens,  pp. 
405.  1902.  Scribner.  $1.50. 

A  comparative  study  of  the  primary  and  secondary 
school  systems  of  Great  Britain,  France,  Germany  and 
the  United  States,  with  chapters  on  the  education  of 
girls  and  defectives.  The  book  makes  a  good  in- 
troduction for  those  who  wish  to  learn  the  main  educa- 
tional trends  in  the  four  countries  mentioned.  Those 
who  wish  to  study  this  subject  more  in  detail  should 
consult  Russell's  German  Higher  Schools  and  Far- 
rington's  Public  Primary  School  System  of  France, 
and  French  Secondary  Schools. 

O'SHEA,  M.  V.  Education  as  Adjustment, 
pp.  317.  1905.  Longmans.  $1.50. 

A  thoughtful  discussion  of  education  considered  as 
adjustment  to  the  individual  and  social  environment. 
The  biological  and  psychological  bases  of  education 
are  emphasized  rather  than  methods  of  teaching. 

O'SHEA,  M.  V.  Dynamic  Factors  in  Educa- 
tion, pp.  320.  1906.  Macmillan.  $1.25. 

The  author  shows  the  significance  of  the  restlessness 
of  children,  and  criticizes  the  average  school  as  re- 
quiring too  much  physical  restraint.  He  advocates 
more  of  manual  activity  in  education.  He  indicates 
sources  of  unnecessary  fatigue  and  nervous  strain. 

ROWE,  S.  H.  Habit  Formation  and  the  Sci- 
ence of  Teaching,  pp.  308.  1909.  Long- 
mans. $1.50. 

An  important  but  much  neglected  subject.  The 
author  gives  a  broad  definition  to  the  term  habit,  and 
traces  it  in  fields  where  it  is  often  not  recognized. 

SNEDDEN,  DAVID.  The  Problem  of  Vocational 
Education.  pp.  86.  1910.  Houghton, 
Mifflin.  35  cents. 

The  writer,  who  has  recently  become  Commissioner 
of  Education  for  Massachusetts,  is  one  of  our  more 
acute  students  of  educational  principles.  He  shows 
the  present  need  of  vocational  education  by  the  school, 
since  the  home  and  the  shop  are  no  longer  able  to 
meet  the  demands,  and  also  the  changes  necessary  in 
the  administration  of  the  schools.  The  relation  of 
vocational  to  liberal  education  is  discussed. 


SOCIAL  EDUCATION 

BAGLEY,  W.  C.  Classroom  Management,  pp. 
322.  1907.  Macmillan.  $1.25. 

The  writer  emphasizes  the  mechanical  rather  than 
the  inspirational  side  of  teaching.  He  stresses  drill 
and  habit  and  methods  for  the  mass.  The  book  will 
be  useful  for  those  who  are  unsystematic  in  their  work. 

DUTTON,  S.  T.,  and  SNEDDEN,  DAVID.,  The 
Administration  of  Public  Education  in 
the  United  States,  pp.  601.  1908.  Mac- 
millan. $1.75. 

A  review  of  the  broad  field  of  public  education  in 
the  United  States.  An  excellent  introduction  to  the 
study  of  our  national  system.  While  details  and  sta- 
tistics are  freely  cited,  they  are  accompanied  by 
thoughtful  comments  of  principles  and  tendencies 
which  should  be  considered  by  those  working  in  all 
fields.

ELIOT,  C.  W.  University  Administration,  pp. 
266.  1908.  Houghton,  Mifflin.  $1.50. 

The  problems  of  Harvard  University  are  in  many 
ways  different  from  those  of  colleges  under  the  care 
of  missionaries,  but  much  of  President  Eliot's  vigorous 
common  sense  will  be  found  useful  to  the  adminis- 
trator. The  subjects  treated  are  university  trustees, 
alumni,  faculty,  elective  system,  methods  of  instruction 
and  social  organization. 

**GILBERT,    C.   B.     The   School   and   Its  Life. 

pp.    259.      1906.      Silver,    Burdett    &    Co. 

$1.25. 

School  management  from  the  standpoint  of  the 
principal.  A  very  stimulating  discussi9n  based  on  up- 
to-date  educational  theory.  Every  missionary  school 
principal  should  read  this  book.  It  is  neither  wooden 
nor  overloaded  with  details  irrelevant  to  the  mission- 
ary. 

JOHNSON,  G.  E.  Education  by  Plays  and 
Games,  pp.  234.  1907.  Ginn.  $1.10. 

Three  chapters  on  the  meaning  of  play,  its  im- 
portance in  education,  and  the  characteristics  of  the 
periods  of  childhood  are  followed  by  a  full  list  of 
plays  for  each  age,  with  brief  descriptions. 

REEDER,  R.  R.  How  200  Children  Live  and 
Learn,  pp.  247.  1909.  New  York  Char- 
ities Publishing  Committee.  $1.25. 

An  account,  by  the  superintendent,  of  the  work  of 
the  New  York  Orphan  Asylum.  Everything  possible 
is  done  to  prevent  the  usual  deadening  effects  of  in- 
stitutional life  and  instead  to  foster  individual  initia- 
tive and  character.  There  are  excellent,  though  brief, 
chapters  on  moral  and  religious  training  and  on  per- 
sonal touch.  The  book  will  be  most  suggestive  and 
stimulating  to  one  who  has  to  supervise  a  boarding 
school. 

*SCOTT,  C.  A.  Social  Education,  pp.  300. 
1908.  Ginn.  $1.25. 

A  discussion  of  a  phase  of  education  that  has  been 
too  often  neglected.  The  book  is  suggestive  rather 
than  systematic.  It  should  broaden  the  methods  of 
the  average  teacher. 

SHAW,  E.  R.  School  Hygiene,  pp.  260.  1901. 
Macmillan.  $1.00. 

This  has  been  for  some  years  one  of  the  standard 
treatments  of  the  subject.  The  principal  topics  pre- 
sented are  the  arrangement  of  the  rooms,  buildings 
and  grounds,  heating,  ventilation  and  sanitation,  fur- 
niture and  hygienic  methods  of  work.  Those  with 
limited  funds  at  their  disposal  will  not  be  able  to  carry 
out  all  the  suggestions. 

SNEDDEN  and  ALLEN.  School  Reports  and 
School  Efficiency,  pp.  183.  1908.  Mac- 
millan. $1.50. 

After  brief  introductory  chapters,  a  long  list  of  the 
most  significant  school  reports  of  American  cities  is 
presented  with  comments.  Many  additional  questions 
are  suggested  and  profitable  ways  of  condensing  sta- 
tistics. Those  who  have  oversight  of  schools  would 
probably  get  helpful  suggestions  for  reports,  even 
where  conditions  dealt  with  are  quite  different  from 
those  of  American  cities. 

WOOD,  T.  D.  Health  and  Education,  pp.  no. 
1910.  University  of  Chicago  Press.  75 
cents. 

An  excellent  summary  of  recent  thought  on  the 
subject  of  health  examinations,  school  sanitation,  the 
hygiene  of  instruction,  health  instruction  and  physical 
education.  Free  play  in  the  open  air,  involving  in- 
teresting and  natural  activity,  is  recommended,  as  op- 
posed to  formal  drills  in  the  gymnasium. 

CHILD    STUDY 

*KIRKPATRICK,  E.  A.  Essentials  of  Child 
Study,  pp.  384.  1903.  Macmillan.  $1.25. 

The  best  introduction  for  one  who  wishes  to  make 
a  scientific  study  of  child  nature.  The  development  of 


the  various  instincts  characteristic  of  childhood  are 
discussed  in  some  detail,  and  brief  suggestions  made 
for  the  educator.  At  the  end  of  each  chapter  are 
questions  and  references  for  further  study. 

*O'SHEA,  M.  V.  Social  Development  and 
Education,  pp.  561.  1909.  Houghton, 
Mifflin.  $2.00. 

The  first  part  of  the  book  is  a  study  of  the  typical 
social  attitudes  of  children,  sociability,  sense  of  duty 
and  justice,  docility,  resentment,  etc.  The  second  part 
discusses  methods  of  social  training.  The  book  is  full 
of  material  valuable  both  to  the  teacher  and  the  parent, 
and  deserves  careful  study  by  those  who  consider 
themselves  responsible  for  the  best  development  of 
character. 

ROWE,  S.  H.  The  Physical  Nature  of  the 
Child,  pp.  211.  1899.  Macmillan.  90 
cents. 

Discusses  tests  for  defective  faculties,  treatment  for 
nervousness  and  fatigue,  the  conditions  of  adolescence 
and  proper  physical  surroundings  for  the  school  and 
the  home. 

TANNER,  AMY.  The  Child,  pp.  430.  1904. 
Rand,  McNally.  $1.25. 

Another  excellent  introduction  to  child  study,  written 
from  the  standpoint  of  somewhat  more  personal  in- 
terest in  the  child  than  Kirkpatrick's  book.  A  useful 
supplement  to  the  latter. 

ADOLESCENCE 

BUCK,  WINIFRED.  Boys'  Self-Governing  Clubs, 
pp.  218.  1903.  Macmillan.  50  cents. 

The  experience  of  a  worker  with  Boys'  Clubs  on  the 
East  Side  of  New  York  City.  It  should  be  helpful  to 
those  who  have  to  deal  with  boys  outside  of  school 
hours,  a  period  the  importance  of  which  is  becoming 
increasingly  recognized.  There  are  wise  suggestions 
as  to  the  limits  of  self-government. 

*FORBUSH,  W.  B.  The  Boy  Problem,  pp.  219. 
1907.  6th  edition  (revised).  Pilgrim 
Press.  $1.00. 

The  best  book  for  those  who  have  to  deal  with  boys. 
Treats  work  in  both  church  and  home,  and  describes 
many  organizations  and  devices,  but  exalts  personal 
influence  as  supremely  effective.  At  the  end  of  each 
chapter  is  a  select  bibliography. 

*HALL,  G.  STANLEY.  Adolescence.  2  vols. 
pp.  589;  784-  1904-  Appleton.  $7.50. 

President  Hall  has  emptied  into  these  two  volumes 
the  contents  of  many  note  books.  He  writes  in  a 
glowing  style  of  the  physical  and  mental  characteristics 
of  adolescence.  To  many  of  his  statements  and  theo- 
ries, exceptions  will  be  taken,  but  no  student  of  the 
subject  can  afford  to  neglect  President  Hall's  great 
learning  and  vigorous  thought. 

*HALL,  G.  STANLEY.  Youth,  pp.  379.  1906. 
Appleton.  $1.50. 

A  condensation  of  the  preceding,  the  chapters  espe- 
cially bearing  on  education  having  been  selected.  For 
a  student  with  plenty  of  time  the  larger  work  would 
be  distinctly  preferable,  but  a  busy  person  can  here  get 
President  Hall's  viewpoint  and  most  important  ma- 
teial. 

EDUCATIONAL  PSYCHOLOGY 

*DEWEY,  JOHN.  How  We  Think,  pp.  224. 
1910.  Heath.  $1.00. 

A  discussion  of  reflective  or  purposive  thinking  in 
Dr.  Dewey's  usual  clear  and  thorough  style.  He  dis- 
tinguishes five  steps  in  reasoning  and  indicates  the 
true  functions  of  induction  and  deduction,  of  analysis 
and  synthesis.  Practical  applications  of  value  are 
made  to  the  work  of  the  teacher.  Dr.  Dewey's  own 
thinking  is  fundamental;  his  distinctions  and  illustra- 
tions are  clear.  As  an  educational  theorist  he  has 
few,  if  any,  equals. 


*DEWEY,  JOHN.  Interest  as  Related  to  Will, 
pp.  40.  1899.  University  of  Chicago 
Press.  25  cents. 

A  fundamental  discussion.  Not  easy  reading  and 
not  to  be  grasped  at  a  sitting  by  the  average  person, 
but  well  worth  careful  study.  Dr.  Dewey  has  fur- 
nished many  writers  on  education  with  their  principal 
ideas. 

HECK,  W.  H.  Mental  Discipline,  pp.  208.  2d 
edition,  revised.  1911.  John  Lane.  $1.00. 

For  a  number  of  years  there  has  been  a  strong  re- 
action against  the  view  that  the  criterion  of  the  value 
of  the  subject  was  its  difficulty  rather  than  its  content. 
It  is  claimed  that  the  so-called  disciplinary  value  of 
certain  subjects  is  transferable  to  other  subjects  in 
only  a  very  slight  degree.  While  inclining  to  the 
more  recent  view,  the  author  presents  a  useful  sum- 
mary of  the  discussion  of  the  subject  by  various 
writers. 

*JAMES,  WILLIAM.  Talks  to  Teachers,  pp. 
301.  1899.  Holt.  $1.50. 

A  series  of  popular  lectures  on  the  application  of 
psychological  principles  to  teaching  in  Professor  James' 
brilliant  style.  Specific  methods  could  hardly  be  in- 
ferred from  this  book  by  the  inexperienced  teacher, 
but  there  is  much  to  stimulate.  No  one  has  ever  put 
certain  maxims  of  character  formation  more  incisively. 

LANGE,  K.  Apperception.  pp.  279.  1893. 
Heath.  $1.00. 

No  doctrine  has  had  more  influence  on  methods  of 
instruction  than  that  of  apperception  as  developed  by 
the  Hebartians.  While  the  psychology  on  which  it 
rests  has  been  in  some  ways  superseded,  most  of  its 
practical  application  is  still  valid  and  valuable. 
Lange's  book  is  a  thorough  discussion. 

MUNSTERBERG,  HUGO.  Psychology  and  the 
Teacher,  pp.  330.  1909.  Appleton.  $1.50. 

Less  brilliant  than  Professor  Tames*  book,  but  more 
detailed,  systematic  and  up-to-date.  Some  of  the  re- 
cent educational  theories  are  questioned  by  the  writer. 

THORNDIKE,  E.  L.  Educational  Psychology, 
pp.  248.  2d  edition  revised,  and  enlarged. 
1910.  Teachers'  College.  $1.50. 

An  attempt  to  apply  quantitative  measurement  to 
the  psychological  differences  of  individuals.  Investi- 
gations of  the  influence  of  sex,  ancestry  and  environ- 
ment are  summarized  and  discussed.  Many  common 
suppositions  are  shown  to  be  without  scientific  basis. 
The  book  is  somewhat  technical  in  character,  and  the 
results  as  a  whole  are  rather  negative,  but  the  subject 
is  one  which  will  probably  undergo  considerable  de- 
velopment. 

*THORNDIKE,  E.  L.  Principles  of  Teaching, 
pp.  273.  1906.  Seiler.  $1.25. 

Treats  brieflv  the  various  psychological  facts  in- 
volved in  teaching,  then  the  application  of  these  to 
teaching,  and  finally  offers  a  number  of  practical  prob- 
lems, some  of  which  are  very  suggestive.  The  center 
of  interest  is  in  the  psychology  of  the  pupil  rather  than 
in  the  subject  matter. 

STORY   TELLING 

BRYANT,  SARA  C.  How  to  Tell  Stories  to 
Children,  pp.  260.  1905.  Houghton,  Mif- 
flin.  $1.00. 

An  introduction  on  the  purpose  of  story  telling, 
the  qualities  of  narrative  that  children  most  like,  and 
hints  for  the  adaptation  of  stories  for  telling,  with  a 
collection  of  short  stories  adapted  for  oral  use  in  the 
first  five  grades.  The  selection  and  style  are  both 
excellent. 

BRYANT,  SARA  C.  Stories  to  Tell  Children, 
pp.  243.  1907.  Houghton,  Mifflin.  $1.00. 

A  second  series  of  stories  arranged  for  telling. 
The  introduction  is  brief,  and  most  of  the  book  is 
given  to  the  tales,  which  are  for  the  most  part  ex- 
ceedingly good. 


HERVEY,  W:  €.''  ;Picoue  \Vcrk.    pp.  91.     1896. 
Revell.     30  cents. 

A  very  suggestive  booklet  on  the  art  of  illustration 
and  story  telling  in  teaching.  The  hints  are  concise 
and  well  arranged.  The  treatment  has  long  been  one 
of  the  best  of  its  kind. 

ST.  JOHN,  E.  P.     Stories  and  Story  Telling. 
pp.  100.    1910.   Pilgrim  Press.   50  cents. 

The  essential  value  of  the  story  for  moral  training 
is  found  in  its  appeal  to  the  emotions;  excellent  sug- 
gestions are  given  for  improvement  in  the  art  of  story 


telling.  Especially  good  is  the  chapter  on  the  use  of 
stories  as  determined  by  their  aim.  The  little  book 
is  well  worth  reading  by  those  who  have  the  moral 


RELIGIOUS  EDUCATION 

BURTON,  E.  D.,  and  MATHEWS,  SHAILER.  Prin- 
ciples and  Ideals  of  the  Sunday  School, 
pp.  207.  1903.  University  of  Chicago 
Press.  $1.00. 

Written  by  two  theological  professors  with  practical 
experience  in  Sunday  School  work.  The  main  interest 
is  in  the  intelligent  presentation  and  understanding  of 
the  Bible.  The  responsibility  of  the  pastor  for  the 
work  of  teaching  is  strongly  emphasized. 

CHAMBERLIN,  G.  L.  Introduction  to  the  Bible, 
pp.  206.  1904.  University  of  Chicago 
Press.  $1.00. 

A  course  of  forty  lessons  for  children  from  9  to  10 
years  of  age,  intended  to  give  a  general  knowledge  of 
the  contents  and  teachings  of  the  Bible  "akin  to  a  me- 
chanic's knowledge  and  love  of  his  tools."  As  a 
whole,  far  in  advance  of  most  of  our  Sunday  School 
material. 

CHAMBERLIN,  G.  L.,  and  KERN,  M.  R.  Child 
Religion  in  Song  and  Story.  Manual  for 
Teacher,  pp.  252.  1907.  University  of 
Chicago  Press.  $1.25. 

A  series  of  thirty-nine  lessons  for  children  from  6 
to  9  years  of  age.  Special  note  books  to  accompany 
the  manual  cost  40  cents  each.  The  stories  have  no 
chronological  sequence,  but  are  grouped  around  simple 
ideas,  such  as  honor  to  parents,  the  Heavenly  Father, 
joy  in  giving,  etc.  American  children  are  presupposed, 
but  the  manual  should  offer  valuable  suggestions  to 
missionaries.  A  second  series  has  been  issued  to 
cover  another  year  of  the  same  grade. 

*CoE,  G.  A.      Education  in  Religion  and  Mor- 
als,    pp.  434.     1904.     Revell.     $1.35. 
Defines  education  as  the  effort  to  assist  in  develop- 
ment toward  social  adjustment  and  efficiency.     Shows 
the   implications   of   this   viewpoint  for    religion.     Dis- 
cusses the  periods  of  individual  development  and  the 
share   of  the  family,    school   and  church   in   religious 
education.     An  excellent  book  for  those  who  wish  to 
see  the  question  in  the  large. 

COE,  G.  A.  The  Spiritual  Life.  pp.  279.  1900. 
Revell.  $1.00. 

A  study  of  religion  from  the  psychological  stand- 
point, showing  the  effect  of  temperament,  of  various 
adolescent  traits,  and  of  suggestibility.  The  author 
claims  that  our  conceptions  of  spirituality  have  been 
unduly  feminized. 

FERRIS,  C.  S.  The  Sunday  Kindergarten, 
pp.  271.  1909.  University  of  Chicago 
Press.  $1.25. 

A  series  of  forty-three  lessons  worked  out  in  detail. 
Kindergarten  methods  are  employed,  but  trained 
kindergartners  are  not  necessary  to  carry  them  out. 
Plays,  stories  and  constructive  work  are  suggested  for 
each  lesson,  and  music  given  for  a  number  of  the 
plays  as  well  as  for  opening  and  closing  exercises. 
Some  kindergarten  equipment  is  very  desirable,  but  the 
most  essential  parts  could  probably  be  improvised 
without  great  difficulty. 


GATES,  H.  W. .  The  Liu  of  Jesus.  Teachers' 
Manual,  pp.  156.  1906.  University  of 
Chicago  Press.  75  cents. 

Forty-two  lessons  for  children  of  from  10  to  13 
years  of  age.  A  number  of  references  to  other  books 
accompany  each  copy,  with  hints  on  preparation  and 
suggestions  for  teaching.  Special  note  books  for 
pupils  cost  50  cents  each,  but  could  be  dispensed  with. 
The  treatment  is  thoughtful,  but  not  strikingly  original. 

HASLETT,  S.  B.  A  Pedagogical  Bible  School, 
pp.  383.  1903.  Revell.  $1.25. 

Shows  the  growth  of  the  Sunday  School  and  its 
methods.  Devotes  several  chapters  to  a  discussion  of 
the  characteristics  of  childhood  and  of  adolescence. 
Lays  down  principles  for  a  curriculum  and  outlines 
topics  for  the  different  grades.  More  of  discussion 
than  in  the  book  by  Pease,  and  less  on  the  curriculum 
and  on  specific  methods. 

JENKS,  J.  W.  Social  Significance  of  the 
Teachings  of  Jesus,  pp.  168.  1906.  As- 
sociation Press.  50  cents,  75  cents. 

A  series  of  lessons  arranged  for  daily  study  with 
questions  for  class  discussion  at  the  end  of  each  week. 
The  day's  work  consists  of  readings  from  the  Bible 
and  from  reference  books,  and  to  these  are  added 
helpful  comments  by  the  author.  The  spirit  is  earnest 
and  thoughtful.  The  Association  Press  has  other  text- 
books modeled  on  the  same  lines. 

McKiNLEY,  C.  E.  Educational  Evangelism, 
pp.  265.  1905.  Pilgrim  Press.  $1.25. 

The  changing  nature  of  the  individual  in  the  transi- 
tion to  adolescence  is  well  presented.  The  book  is 
written  from  the  standpoint  of  a  pastor. 

**PEASE,  G.  A.  Outline  of  a  Bible  School 
Curriculum,  pp.  418.  1904.  University 
of  Chicago  Press.  $1.50. 

A  most  useful  and  suggestive  book.  Treats  first  the 
characteristics  of  each  period  of  development  from  the 
kindergarten  to  the  adult  stage;  then  outlines  a  curri- 
culum for  every  Sunday  in  the  year,  and  gives  several 
specimen  lessons  and  a  bibliography  in  connection  with 
each  year.  The  book  indicates  in  general  the  position 
toward  which  the  best  Bible  study  is  moving.

Reports  of  addresses  on  all  phases  of  religious  edu- 
cation by  many  speakers.  These  necessarily  vary 
much  in  quality,  but  some  of  them  are  of  great  im- 
portance. The  titles  of  the  last  four  volumes  are: 
"The  Bible  in  Practical  Life,"  "The  Aims  of  Religious 
Education,"  "The  Materials  of  Religious  Education," 
"Education  and  National  Character."

Public  Schools,  pp.  203.  1907.  Ginn. 

.$1.50. 

Five  essays  selected  as  the  best  of  those  submitted  in 
competition  for  a  prize.  The  first  presents  very  clearly 
the  viewpoint  of  the  party  that  holds  that  morals 
should  be  taught  by  affording  occasions  for  moral 
activity  rather  than  by  precept.

subject  of  moral  education  in  schools.  Vol.  I  treats 
replies  from  Great  Britain,  and  Vol.  II  those  from  the 
colonies  and  from  other  countries.

Class,     pp.  84.     1906.     Pilgrim  Press.     25 
cents,  60  cents. 
Popular  and   helpful    chapters  on    child   nature    and 

the  best  methods  of  treating  it  in  teaching.     The   in- 


tense sympathy  of  the  writer  is  a  stimulus,  and  the 
illustrations  from  life  will  be  more  suggestive  to  the 
beginner  than  any  amount  of  abstract  definitions. 


PERSONAL  DEVELOPMENT 
GULICK,  LUTHER.     Mind  and  Work.    pp.  201. 
1909.     Doubleday,  Page.     $1.20. 

A  series  of  colloquial  lectures  on  the  habits  of  mind 
and  body  that  should  be  observed  in  order  to  secure 
the  greatest  efficiency  in  our  daily  work.  Important 
truths  are  vigorously  put.  We  all  should  be  better 
for  following  this  advice. 

KING,  H.  C.  Rational  Living,  pp.  271.  1905. 
Macmillan.  $1.25. 

The  applications  of  modern  psychology  to  our  daily 
living  are  discussed  in  President  King's  thoughtful 
style  under  four  heads;  the  complexity  of  life,  the 
unity  of  man,  the  central  importance  of  will  and 
action,  the  concreteness  of  the  real.  The  treatment  is 
much  more  philosophical  than  Gulick's,  but  equally 
practical  for  another  type  of  mind. 

MACCUNN,  J.  The  Making  of  Character,  pp. 
226.  1900.  Macmillan.  $1.25. 

A  discussion  in  somewhat  philosophical  style  of  the 
elements  that  go  to  make  up  character,  addressed  to 
the  parent  and  teacher  rather  than  to  the  youth.  The 
treatment  is  broad  and  thoughtful. 

HISTORY  OF  EDUCATION 

HINSDALE,  B.  A.  Horace  Mann.  pp.  326. 
1898.  Scribner.  $1.00. 

Mann  gave  up  law  for  education  with  the  words, 
"Let  the  next  generation  be  my  client,"  and  became 
the  first  great  organizer  of  American  education.  A 
brief  sketch  of  the  previous  development  of  education 
in  America  is  followed  by  a  well-balanced  account  of 
Mann's  life  and  accomplishments.

tory of  Education,  pp.  772.  1905.  Mac- 
millan. $1.90. 

The  most  satisfactory  history  of  education  in  Eng- 
lish. The  settings  of  the  different  periods  and  the  con- 
tributions of  the  different  tendencies  are  presented 
with  clearness  and  force.  At  the  end  of  each  chapter 
is  a  brief  bibliography  of  the  general  history  of  the 
period  as  well  as  of  its  educational  work. 

MONROE,  PAUL.  A  Brief  Course  in  the  His- 
tory of  Education,  pp.  409.  1907.  Mac- 
millan. $1.25. 

A  condensation  of  the  preceding  for  those  who  wish 
a  briefer  course.  An  effort  has  been  made  to  retain 
the  details  where  necessary  to  illustrate  important 
facts.  Teachers  will  find  this  a  most  excellent  text- 
book, but  should  in  all  cases  have  the  larger  work  for 
reference  and  for  the  bibliographies.

568.  1890.  Appleton.  $1.50. 

Sketches  of  leaders  of  educational  thought  from  the 
time  of  the  Renaissance  to  the  present.  Pestalozzi  re- 
ceives most  space,  94  pages,  and  Herbart  is  omitted 
altogether.  The  sketches  are  written  in  vigorous  style, 
with  numerous  quotations  from  the  writings  of  the 
men  in  question. 

TALBOT,  E.  A.     Samuel  Chapman  Armstrong. 

pp.  301.  1904.  Doubleday,  Page.  $1.50. 
A  life  of  the  founder  of  Hampton  College,  which  has 
done  so  much  for  the  education  of  the  Negro  and  the 
Indian.  The  breezy  and  rugged  character  of  the  man 
and  the  principles  on  which  he  based  his  work  are 
illustrated  by  numerous  quotations  from  his  letters 
and  sayings. 

WASHINGTON,  BOOKER  T.  Up  From  Slavery. 
PP-  330'  1900.  Doubleday,  Page.  $1.50. 

The  life  story  of  a  man  who  has  overcome  tremen- 
dous obstacles  and  accomplished  wonderful  things  for 
the  education  of  a  race.  He  has  been  wise  enough  to 
give  his  people  what  they  needed  rather  than  what  they 
thought  they  wanted.
